Yikes. You should do a bit more research. The talking points you are displaying make you look silly.

You're confused. It's NOT taxing "death." It's taxing wealthy inheritors who did absolutely NOTHING to earn it other than being part of the lucky sperm club


It is a taxation on death. Your envy of the families of wealthy people is noted, by why does the government get a say in where a persons lifetime accumulations go when they pass?

Taxation is meant to be a revenue source for government. Your reasoning makes taxation a device to punish success and freedom out of pettiness and envy.

You better get a new accountant. - unless you are filthy rich and been skirting your 'fair share' with a shite load of loophole deductions.

What’s dumb is that you think you will benefit from a tax break for the rich that will share it with you as higher wages.

If this conversation actually happened (spoiler alert, it didn't) your accountant was attempting to use the conservative principle and then blew it out of the water by saying your taxes were doubling. Unless you are doing something crazy or running your own business, there is no way in hell your tax bill is going to double.

What about the tax reform plan's impact on the middle class do Democrats hate so much?



Not a Democrat, but this thread encapsulates some of my problems with the bill (basically, parents do really, really badly with this plan).

Both parties favor the wealthy and both parties want to control the country. They play to different audiences to gain said control. Did rich people become less rich under Obama? The wealth gap keeps increasing no matter which party is in charge. We should more concerned about the state of our culture than some meaningless tax plan.

I didn’t know it was the Democrats who were proposing to raise my middle class taxes to give super rich republican donors a tax break. Whatever.
